New Super Mario Bros. U is a side-scroller released for the Wii U alongside the console's launch. The game features some elements from Super Mario World, such as an interconnected world map, Baby Yoshis, Sumo Bros., and Bony Beetles, and minor references such as diagonal pipes making a return. The game plays very similarly to New Super Mario Bros. Wii with its four-player mode—however, a player with a Wii U GamePad can create platforms in what Nintendo refers to as "Boost Mode." Additionally, the game also features single-player Challenges. It is the first Super Mario game to be released in high-definition. The game also introduces the Super Acorn power-up, with which Mario can become Flying Squirrel Mario. The Cosmic Spirit is an entity resembling both Rosalina and Cosmic Mario, although it is unknown if she has any connection to either of them. She can assist Mario by taking control of his body; however, any stars received will be bronze. She only appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Kamek is a powerful Magikoopa and apparent advisor to Bowser (or at least high-ranking member in the Koopa Troop), and the archenemy of Yoshi. He is the main antagonist in the Yoshi franchise while being one of the main bosses in the Super Mario series. To certain extents, Toadette and Kamek are enemies, due to the latter kidnapping the former in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. During the events of Super Mario Party, Toadette is initially surprised to see him as the third host, but she later gets along with him, as evidenced by one of her conversations with the player.

Super Mario Odyssey released for the Nintendo Switch in late 2017. As a new entry in the 3D games and a new sandbox-style 3D Super Mario game after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, it focuses on Mario and a new character named Cappy (who takes the form of the Mario Cap) visiting kingdoms far from the Mushroom Kingdom and collecting Power Moons, ultimately in an attempt to prevent Bowser force-marrying Princess Peach and to rescue Cappy's sister Tiara. Cappy has multiple uses, such as being thrown like a boomerang (which can be used to control life forms and inanimate objects) and jumping off him in midair like a platform. In addition, this is the first main Super Mario game to be compatible with amiibo, and it was launched alongside a trio of amiibo based on the game.

Game & Watch game released in 1987, Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. is a direct port of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels fit into a Game & Watch system with full-color screen display. The system also features a Super Mario-themed version of Ball.

Wario is Mario's yellow-clad, greedy childhood friend and rival. Though he has antagonized Mario since his debut in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario proved to be a valuable ally during the events of Super Mario 64 DS, where he, alongside Luigi, originally came to "crash the party" of Mario and Peach. Wario is the strongest character in the game, being able to destroy some obstacles the other character would have no choice but avoid them. Spiny Eggs are dropped by Lakitus and become Spinies when they hit the ground. There is also a green type that doesn't hatch and a kind that turns into Piranha Plants.

Super Mario Advance is a remake of Super Mario Bros. 2 made for the handheld game system, the Game Boy Advance, and released in 2001. Like the Super Mario All-Stars remake, Super Mario Advance had updated graphics, alongside various gameplay additions and improvements such as a points scoring system and collectable Ace Coins. Additionally, Mario Bros. is included with the game. It spawned a series of similar remakes, all featuring Mario Bros. as well. Sprixie Princesses are a group of seven characters from Super Mario 3D World. They act as the rulers of the Sprixie Kingdom and the Sprixies, a race of fairies who play a major role in the story. Toadette appeared as a default opponent in the Japan-exclusive game, Yakuman DS. Despite her playable roles in many other multiplayer games she appears in, she appears only as an opponent. She is a normal/hard opponent; she is speedy and can win the hand faster. Spinners, also known as Ball 'n' Chains, are spiked balls on the ends of chains that swing around in a circle, similar to Roto-Discs. The Koopalings are introduced as Bowser’s children in Super Mario Bros. 3 and then considered Bowser's minions from New Super Mario Bros. Wii onwards. They are bosses in various games. Their names are Larry Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa and Ludwig von Koopa.

A character overview for New Super Mario Bros. describes Toad as a single character, rather than the multiple Toads shown fleeing Peach's Castle. Toadette, running into Beep-0 and the rest of the team during "Benefits of Getting Lost" in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Mario is Missing! (1993, MS-DOS/SNES/NES) • Mario's Time Machine (1993, MS-DOS/SNES/NES) • Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters (1993, MS-DOS/SNES) • Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers (1994, MS-DOS/SNES) • Mario's Early Years! Preschool Fun (1994, MS-DOS/SNES)In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Toadette is introduced as Toad's partner, which has been continued throughout the spin-off games. According to the official guides from Prima for Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 8, Toad and Toadette are siblings. [6] [7] In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Toadette cameos in Yoshi Park 2 in which pictures of Toad and Toadette appear to be holding flowers for each other (as pictured on the left). Additionally, in the ending screen of Mario Kart Wii, the two Toads can be seen holding hands. In the introduction of Super Mario Galaxy, both Toads can be seen sitting beside each other in a grassy plain while watching the shooting stars. Their team name in Mario Party 6 indicates that, being the only two playable Toads, they are good friends. Regardless, the two are on good terms, including sharing good chemistry in the baseball games. It is revealed in Mario Party DS that Toad built her a special table by himself (for her music recital), which was later given to her by Peach. However, they are not romantically involved, according to an interview with Koichi Hayashida. [8] The Mario Baseball series shows Toadette having good chemistry with Toadsworth, though their exact relationship remains unexplored. Tox Boxes are cube enemies with one hollow side Mario can stand under without getting crushed. The ones in Super Mario 64 and the ones in Super Mario Galaxy have vastly different appearances, as well as slightly different Japanese names. In 1986, one year after the release of Nintendo's first biggest commercial success, the company released a simplified version of the game on their Game & Watch system. It essentially has the same plot, reduced down to only eight levels; however, after beating every level, they will have to be repeated. Mario will have to go through nine loops, avoiding Lakitus and Bullet Bills, each time with the levels increasing in difficulty. There are also two types of levels: scroll screen levels, in which Mario will have to reach a certain point to advance, and timer screen levels, in which Mario must get through the world in a given amount of time. Additionally, another difference between the original and this remake is that Mario will find Princess Toadstool at the end of every level, without having to fight a boss. Toadette and Luigi rarely interact, but Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam sees the two characters properly interact. Toadette builds Papercraft machines that can be used in battle (including a Luigi Papercraft, which has high HP), and in return, Luigi and the two Marios find Paper Toads scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom to give to Toadette, so she can build stronger, more resilient papercraft. When Toadette's Papercrafts are destroyed by Bowser, Luigi tries to comfort her, though Toadette reveals that she already had an idea for how the trio could defeat Bowser. Ray is a friendly Manta Ray in Super Mario Galaxy that Penguins ride for sport. Mario can also ride him at two points.
